It's Super 77 low mist adhesive. It pulling off the first layer of the cereal boxes I used was one of the worries I had before I even started building so I tested a couple of layer. I used a thicker cardboard from a shirt packaging for the skeleton that seemed to be more like waferboard...

Cockpit installed. Surprisingly this is the hardest part of the whole thing thus far. Top wing. We're in the home stretch! Looks like I'm going to have to design some feet/landing gear for it as the cockpit hangs lower than everything else. Puts a lot of pressure on the neck...

Yeah, I'll take a nicely weathered/distressed looking model any day.

Side air intakes (modified) installed and top "wing holding thingie". Like the instructions say "Air intakes in space?" With the exception of the gun pods on the front of where the hinges are concealed, the hull is done. Just the cockpit and the 3 wings to do.

It's a free model, but to be honest, I have no idea where I got it from. I've downloaded pretty much every model I've come across and have bookmarked very few sites. The only info I can give you is the contact stuff in the instructions: "The model is based on slightly modified Darksaber’s...

Yeah i finally looked at the manual and macro mode is the way to go for anything closer than 1.5 ft. Helps to actually read it, huh? :oops: Surprisingly my 2 megapixel phone camera does wonderful closeup shots. Will use it from now on. Thanks for the tips, though, guys! In retrospect...

Here's the skeleton skinned with the hinges for the wings installed. Thank god for spray adhesive. Engines. I sure would like to know why my camera blurs close-up shots. wall1 Front where the cockpit is going to attach. You can see some white showing inside the neck. Oops. Oh...

This one has been on my build list for quite a while, and now that I have collected enough cereal boxes, shoe boxes and other odds and ends, I started it today. It's even got movable wings. This is how big it's supposed to be. Huge! Don't know where I'm gonna put it once it's done...

Very nice! How tall does she stand?

Those are the ones! Are you gonna be releasing them to the public? To buy? I would definitely buy those! They look great!

OK, I'm bumping this thread because the other Prisontale build thread keeps giving me a "Database Error". I've been building a bunch of Star Wars, Star Trek, Babylon, BSG models but am really interested in doing some "human" stuff. Where'd you get this model from? I'm really interested in...

An absolutely incredible build! I never cease to be amazed at what dedication people show. My level of skill is more related to the spongebob pineapple house that is on the left of that pic.

The fact that you did it with just Corel Draw makes it all the more impressive. I'm truly in awe of people that can do this kind of stuff. I can barely make a flat roofed shed in Sketchup. :oops:

Thanks BazookaJo. I did your Martin the Martian a couple of weeks ago and I loved it. So did my kid :grin: Looking forward to tackling the cylon.
